Veneto 89, located in the heart of Rome’s historic and culturally rich Dolce Vita district, offers a visionary example of modern architecture that harmonizes seamlessly with its surroundings. Designed by Studio Scandurra, this 23,000-square-meter landmark embodies a sophisticated balance between tradition and innovation, serving as a bridge between the timeless grandeur of the Eternal City and cutting-edge architectural solutions. The building's proximity to iconic destinations, such as Via Condotti and Via del Babuino, further enhances its position as a prestigious and strategic urban development. Its location also ensures excellent connectivity, with the metro stop Barberini just two-minute walk away, making it a prime destination for both local and international firms.
One of the key elements of Veneto 89’s architectural design is its deep integration with the urban landscape. The building’s ground floor houses three different retail spaces, each with independent entrances that open directly to the lively streets of Via Veneto. This arrangement invites high-end retailers, contributing to the cultural and commercial vibrancy of the area. The office spaces, accessible through a grand entrance on Via Veneto and additional entrances on Via Versilia and Via Molise, are designed with flexibility and modularity, allowing them to adapt to the changing needs of tenants over time.
Veneto 89’s sustainability credentials are among its most impressive features. The building has been awarded LEED PLATINUM Core & Shell certification. It is also targeting BREEAM Very Good certification, emphasizing its use of sustainable materials and responsible resource management. This dedication to sustainability extends to the pursuit of WELL Silver certification. The technological innovations within Veneto 89 set it apart as a forward-thinking development. Central to these innovations is the advanced Building Management System, which allows for real-time monitoring and control of all mechanical and electrical systems. This system can be accessed remotely, enabling both tenants and building managers to optimize energy use and maintain a comfortable living and working environment.
The building also incorporates energy-efficient lighting, emergency systems, and detailed energy consumption tracking, which help reduce operational costs and minimize its overall environmental footprint. The inclusion of energy accounting by floor ensures precise monitoring and adjustments, allowing the building to meet its ambitious sustainability goals.
The redevelopment had a significant impact on the building’s energy performance, with carbon emissions reduced by 33% compared to pre-refurbishment levels. A detailed Carbon Trajectory assessment, conducted using the CRREM Tool, confirms that the building is a top performer in terms of sustainability, further cementing its role as a model for future developments in urban architecture.
In terms of technical specifications, Veneto 89 features cutting-edge heating and cooling systems, including two multi-purpose thermo-refrigeration units located on the terrace and equipped with four-pipe fan coils. Ventilation is provided by an AHU hydronic system in the second basement, while hot water is generated by high-temperature water-to-water heat pumps. The building is also equipped with two electrical meters for each floor and two medium-voltage electrical cabins in the first basement, ensuring reliable and efficient power distribution. LED lighting is used throughout, and advanced security systems, including EVAC and smoke detection, ensure the safety and well-being of occupants.
The building, home to Deloitte’s new Rome headquarters since January 2024, also houses Amazon in 2,800 square meters of office space, underscoring its appeal to major international corporations.
